(...) Yep, it was a lotta fun. The mall-tour people told us they don't work directly with lego, so we knew more than them about some of the stuff. It was quite amusing. ;-) Tim told them about LDraw.org and stuff, I showed one of them my little (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

I wasn't planning on making the trek to Potomac Mills for the earlier December show due to the poor reviews I've read thus far, I'm sure others feel the same way. But if WAMALUG can rally (any Mindstorms folks in the crowd??) for the show, I'm sure (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.us)

A couple weeks back I posted a pretty critical but not mean-spirited (IMHO) critique of the mall tour as it passed near me (reference message Dear Lego n=2518). I was then contacted by Jeff Ardis the tour manager by e-mail. He stated that indeed (...)

I don't think I've ever more agreed with Larry <grin> October 1992 or 1994 was when John G and I started to build with Conan and Chuck.
